Seeman said he was alerted by reliable sources within the internment camps Sunday afternoon and that he wanted to alert the world even if there was no proper mechanism to double-check and verify his claims.

TamilNet was unable to verify Mr. Seeman's claims through its sources on the ground as the sources were not immediately available.
